A strong community on Lansing’s Southside
While it may not have the same headline-making revitalization efforts as REO Town and other surrounding neighborhoods, residents of the Old Everett community continue to show that South Lansing has the tenacity to overcome economic setbacks. “It was built around industry,” says Brian Ozbun, a Realtor with Bellway Realty, LLC., who specializes in helping first-time homebuyers throughout Lansing. “There’s Washington Avenue, which is a main route to the center of downtown Lansing that had lots of shopping and restaurants. But when industry left, it affected the neighborhood, and many businesses left.” This setback, which affected much of the greater Lansing area, didn’t spell the end of Old Everett. “There’s the high school, Everett High, and a lot of local parks,” Ozbun says. “There are streets with some really nice homes, and it’s not far from downtown and East Lansing.”
Tree-lined streets and safe sidewalks are a hallmark of Old Everett.
